Clansia, Whirlpool County.

This is a frontier province close to forests and mountains. The population has always been small. In addition, the terrain is strange and complex, with various large cracks, canyons, and forests densely distributed, making it difficult to pass through, hence the name Huixuan County.

A group of people wearing white cloaks walked along the rugged mountain road, leading a group of horses for the journey.

"Are we far from His Highness's residence, Lady Palinsa?" asked a woman wearing a white lining and a light brown vest.

"We should be here soon. I saw it described on the map," said the woman with blonde hair and a ponytail. She was also wearing a hunting suit and had a capable figure.

There were about a dozen people in the group, both men and women, many of whom were former Westwind nobles. Palinsa was the leader of these nobles.

Due to political considerations, the positions that the former West Wind nobles can currently hold are strictly limited. They are not allowed to engage in management positions such as policy, and are currently assigned to some unimportant support departments at most. And Palinsha is the highest-ranking among them.

This time they were also ordered to come and look for a master who had been living in seclusion for a long time.

This person was once the president of the West Wind Royal Academy. He was an adventurer in his youth and later served as the Grand Master and General of the Royal Knights. His talent and strength were both top-notch.

However, these are things that happened nearly 200 years ago, and it is questionable whether they are still alive today.

But since Clancy had sent someone to search for him, there must have been a reason. This old man had reached Sequence 9 before his retirement. Even though his strength had declined due to aging, his combat power was still indispensable, precisely what Clancy currently lacked.

"It is said that a few years ago, when facing a crisis, my father also sent people to look for me. Unfortunately, the other party did not show up. He just sent a message via a carrier bird, saying that he was unwilling to come out, so he gave up." Palinsa recalled what she had seen and heard in the palace.

"Will His Highness agree to come out this time?" A member of the Clansia staff nearby asked with some concern.

"It's hard to say, but at least we can try. After all, today's Clansia is much better than West Wind." Another scholar with glasses turned around. He was the leader of this team, the current director of the Solander Library and a history expert. He was currently on duty in Clansia, responsible for compiling the history of West Wind.

He wore a white robe with a gold star book badge on his chest. It was said that this was a trend started by the great sage of Loran Hill. Now, the educational and literary circles of Clancia all liked to wear white.

"I've looked up his life story. He was a flamboyant man in his early years, loved freedom, and ventured around the world. Later, after marrying the daughter of an earl, he joined the Clancy army."

"He quickly rose through the ranks with his superhuman strength. After reaching Sequence 9, he became a distinguished guest of the then-French royal family and was treated with great courtesy."

"Under his watch, the noble sons of the Royal Knights suffered immensely. They were often dragged through various training sessions, sometimes forced to climb mountains and swim in the water, capture various magical beasts, and be divided into small teams to suppress bandits. However, thanks to this, the atmosphere within the West Wind Army was cleansed and improved greatly during those years."

"You've probably all heard of Sonia, the current head of the Clancy Intelligence Agency. Back when she was in the West Wind Army, it was a general who discovered her talent and protected and promoted her. This general was a student of this lord's student."

"Although the West Wind is corrupt, the situation within the military has been barely maintained, and the deterrent to neighboring countries is maintained, thanks to the existence of this group of people."

"I believe that His Highness still has feelings for this land. It's only because he was disappointed with Xifeng that he didn't come out again. So this time we must try again and ask him to come out."

He walked and talked in front, and this time, considering the old relationship between this gentleman and Xifeng, he specially asked Palinsa and others to come along.

In this way, the group traveled through the mountains for several days.

At first, they thought that this visit would take a lot of time to find and express their sincerity, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better very quickly.

"Are you from the official Clancy staff?"

A man and a woman jumped down from the tree and landed in front of the two men. Judging from their age, they should be young, probably 17-18 years old.

"Yes." The leading scholar replied.

The two looked at each other, seemingly proud of their discovery.

"Are you here to look for Grandpa Fei Helang?"

"Yes, that's right. May I ask who you two are?" The leading scholar was delighted to hear the two children's questions.

"We are Grandpa Feihelang's students. He is currently resting in his garden."

"Come with us. Grandpa Fei Helang actually wants to meet the Great Sage of Clancy, but unfortunately he said he hasn't been able to find him yet."

In this way, the group followed the two men, turned around and around here, and finally passed through a hidden crack where horses could only be tied outside, and people had to walk sideways through the narrow crack in the stone wall.

After walking slowly sideways for dozens of meters, a peaceful little world appeared before everyone.

The place is surrounded by high cliffs and several large trees in between. Under the shade of their canopies that are dozens of meters high, only sporadic sunlight falls on the small courtyard below.

Beyond this small dwelling, the other side of the valley basin was an open, flat area where wheat and vegetables were grown. As they moved forward, they could see a pool of water at the foot of a small hill, which held deep, cool water.
